Exciting day in Wyoming. The first rare earth element mine to open in the United States in 70 years. And the first coal mine to open in Wyoming in 50 years. What we're surrounded by right here is this big beautiful clean coal. This is the largest source of global electricity and has been for over a century. We want to see the coal production grow in our country. This particular mine, and I'm sure there'll be more, also is going to bring rare earth element production. Let's celebrate American hydrocarbon production and the renaissance we're entering. President Trump's re-election transforms the American energy landscape and ends the simply wrong-headed, foolish, and destructive war on hydrocarbons and domestic energy production. That's over. You're going to see a lot more of this. Big, beautiful clean coal. God bless America. God bless energy.

Today we're taking historic action to help American workers, miners, families and consumers. We're ending Joe Biden's war on beautiful clean call once and for all and we're going to put the miners back to work under the executive order that I will sign in a few moments. We're slashing unnecessary regulations that targeted the beautiful clean call. We will rapidly expedite leases for coal mining on federal land, streamline permitting. We will end the government bias against coal and we're going to unlock the sweeping authorities of the Defense Production Act to turbocharge coal mining in America. On for pound coal is the single most reliable durable secure and powerful form of energy there is on earth today. The value of untapped coal in our country is 100 times greater than the value of all the gold at Fort Knox and we're going to unleash it and make America rich and powerful again. Together we're going to tap that magnificent potential to give our people the glorious future that they deserve.

>> We have four items prepared for your signature this afternoon, sir. The first of these executive orders is, it may be one of the most significant executive orders of your administration thus far. This directs all departments and agencies of the federal government to end all discriminatory policies against the coal industry. This ends the leasing moratorium that prevents new coal projects on federal land. And it's going to accelerate all permitting and funding for new coal projects to allow the coal industry to flourish under your leadership, sir. >> That's great, thank you. >> [APPLAUSE] >> [APPLAUSE] >> Sir, there are currently dozens of coal plants in America that are in imminent danger of being forced to close based on unscientific and unrealistic policies enacted by the Biden administration. What we're going to do is essentially impose a moratorium on those policies taking effect to protect coal plants that are currently operating to ensure that they're able to continue producing power and continue providing jobs to Americans in the coal industry. >> That's right, thank you very much. >> [APPLAUSE] >> Okay, sir, you've made grid reliability and security a key focus of this administration. This executive order is going to promote grid security and reliability by ensuring in part that our grid policies are focused on secure and effective energy production and energy transmission. As opposed to woke policies that discriminate against secure sources of power like coal and other fossil fuels. >> [APPLAUSE] >> [APPLAUSE] >> Lastly, sir, one of the biggest problems we have in this space is Democrat states, radical leftist states enacting policies and enacting an agenda that discriminates against coal, against secure sources of energy. Many of these policies are unconstitutional and illegal. And with this executive order, you're going to be instructing your Department of Justice to vigorously pursue and investigate these state policies that we believe are illegal or unconstitutional. >> Good, thank you. >> [APPLAUSE] >> Thank you very much, great job. He went to Harvard when Harvard was good. >> [LAUGH] >> It was a while ago. >> [APPLAUSE]
